Content 1. Introduction, OS Types, Basic Concepts, Course Scope
2. OS Components, Hardware Classes, File Systems
3. Process, Thread, System Calls, Kernel and User-level Context Switching
4. Synchronization Primitives, Producer/Consumer Pattern
5. Scheduling
6. Security, Protection
7. Midterms
8. Virtual Memory I
9. Virtual Memory II
10. Efficient Cache Management, Consistency and Coherence
11. High-Performance Locks, Fair Scheduling, Deadlocks, Livelocks
12. Dynamic Memory Management
13. Linking, Dynamic Libraries, Deployment
14. Virtual Machines, Containers, Jails, Sandboxing
Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, students will gain proficiency in the following areas:

1. Ability to explain the operation of a standard operating system,
2. Ability to use and craft userspace or kernelspace code in low-level C, ,
3. Ability to explain and use multi-process programming,
4. Ability to analyze, explain, and implement inter-process synchronization requirements,
5. Ability to effectively manage hardware resources like memory, bandwidth, processor
